Welcome to the website of the Chair of Urban Climate Resilience!

The impression still persists that anthropogenic climate change primarily takes place at great spatial or temporal distances. However, the consequences of climate change are already being experienced today, even here in our own country. The heatwave of 2018 and the accompanying drought in northern and eastern Germany, as well as the heavy rainfall events in the summer of 2021 and the resulting floods and flash floods in western and southeastern Germany, are just two examples.

?

In the future, the impacts of the climate crisis will intensify even further. The greenhouse gases already present in the atmosphere will continue to influence the climate for many decades, leading to gradual changes such as the progressive increase in global average temperature, the melting of glaciers, and the rise in sea levels. Even if climate protection measures are successful, adaptation to the consequences of climate change is unavoidable.

?

At the Chair of Urban Climate Resilience, we are investigating how communities (cities, municipalities, districts) can be made more climate resilient. In this context, climate resilience refers to the reduction of social vulnerability and the strengthening of societal resilience in dealing with the consequences of global climate change.

Lehrstuhl für Urbane Klimaresilienz eingerichtet

Die Universita?t Augsburg hat den Geographen Prof. Dr. Markus Keck zum Wintersemester 2021/2022 auf den neu eingerichteten Lehrstuhl für Urbane Klimaresilienz berufen. Damit ist die erste von zehn neu geschaffenen Professuren besetzt, die das im Januar gegründete Zentrum für Klimaresilienz vergr??ern werden. Dort wird die Widerstands- und Anpassungsf?higkeit von ?kosystemen, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft gegenüber den Folgen des Klima- und Umweltwandels erforscht. Herr Keck wird sich in Augsburg mit Agri-Food-Systemen, mit st?dtischer Natur und Infrastruktur sowie mit Zukunftsvisionen klimaresilienter St?dte besch?ftigen.
